Hi all,

Well seeing what i have received for responses to  my emails, seems to 
be more proof that more action is needed to diversify the activity on 
the bands.

For sure on 6 meters.

I didn't put up a 7  element  yagi on 6 m so that when i know 6 meters 
is open to South America or Europe i could go operate a different band.

That doesn't make scence to me.

So now every time all of you know you can ft8 to Europe or 'south 
America or anyplace elce your going to go to say maybe 160?

  Now i can tell you i think all of us including me have worked very 
hard to have the bands we have and the station we have to operate.

And i am out right tired of there being opening after opening with only 
ft8.

I am not really against ft8, but i am against the take over.


Remember i am not going anyware.

I am not planning on becoming sk or anything elce.

I  fully intend to operate my station as i have for 40 years.

I have tryed ft8 and will not anymore.

So lets diversify the activity.

  Remember these frequencies are worth money to some one.

Thanks 73 Matt ka0pqw
